What are you ready to stop carrying?

There are moments in the wheel of the year that invite us to pause—to notice what has changed, what has run its course, and what we are ready to gently release.

Join us on Samhain for a grounded, connective evening at the farm. Together, we will gather in circle to mark this seasonal transition, honouring the shift into the darker half of the year through reflection, community, and presence.

What to Expect:

• Circle & Reflection: A supported space to pause, integrate past experiences, and set intentions for what you wish to leave behind.

• Healing & Connection: Facilitated by Waterford Equine-Assisted Healing and Cranial Waves, combining holistic awareness, body wisdom, and equine-guided presence.

• Community: A welcoming, consent-based environment for anyone seeking pause, renewal, or a different path.

Slow down, breathe, and settle in as autumn arrives in the Fundy Foothills. Join guided meditation instructor Robyn for a serene, three-part evening series set in the peaceful countryside of Waterford.

Participants will sit just outside the pasture while the gentle, grounding presence of the herd grazes nearby, creating a unique atmosphere of quiet connection, mindfulness, and relaxation.

What to Expect

• Guided Mindfulness: Grounding meditation sessions designed to help you unwind and destress.

• Equine Atmosphere: Experience the quiet, soothing presence of horses in their natural environment.

• Community & Connection: A welcoming, consent-based space open to all skill levels.
